Houston rapper charged with murder in alleged jealous dispute

A 19-year-old man faces murder charges, after he allegedly shot a friend multiple times during a fight that a witness said was sparked because the suspect was jealous of the victim’s growing popularity on the Houston rap scene.

Houston police are seeking Jordan Quentin Wilson after the death of Toyurean Young, 20, who was shot outside a McDonald’s at 10777 Beechnut on May 4, according to court documents from the Harris County District Court.

A witness relayed the events of the night of the shooting to police. He told investigators that he and Young, a talented performer, belonged to a rap group called FDAB, Fly Den a B****, which he said has been gaining popularity in the city’s rap scene. The suspect had previously been a member of that group, but left to join KREAM, Kash Rules Everything Around Me, another Houston-based rap group, a witness told investigators.

For the last few months, the suspect had been instigating problems with Young on his Twitter page and had been threatening to assault him, the document states.

On the night of the shooting, the witness, Young and Wilson ended up at the McDonald’s. The suspect told Young that he wanted to fight him. They started arguing and the witness told investigators he noticed a gun in Wilson’s front pocket.

Another witness, a friend of both the victim and suspect, who was working at McDonald’s that night, said she heard another witness say to Wilson, “You don’t have to do this, man.”

Once the other men noticed that he had a gun, the document states that Wilson apparently responded, “If I wanted to shoot you then I’d done it!”

A fight broke out between the men in a parking lot.

A McDonald’s employee said she saw the fight break out and saw Wilson pull out a small handgun from his pants pocket, point it at Young and then fired three shots, the document states.

Young’s friend, who witnessed the fight, said he saw the victim run inside the McDonald’s, holding his left side, saying he had been shot.

An ambulance was called, and the victim told a paramedic that “Jordan” shot him when asked who had injured him. Young was brought to Ben Taub General Hospital with two gun shot wounds, where he later died, authorities said.

Investigators found a video of Wilson dancing with the group KREAM and several witnesses identified him as the shooter.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Wilson is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
